Bill, I suspect you know and agree with what I'm about to write....
I've seen a whole bunch of systems that, given the opportunity, I would have been happy to "improve" dramatically. Take out some strangely baroque ideas that some idiot implemented, improve the API's, reduce the overhead while improving usability. .. and I've written stuff that I'm sure others have wanted to turn upside down. That's okay, because these are more questions of style, and anyone who has any talent at all will develop their own style and have valid reasons for doing things their way. I've also learned that when you are the lead on a project, you get to define all of the interfaces, and when you aren't, you get to use the interfaces you are given (or, if you prefer, the interfaces that are dictated to you). You can bitch about it, or you can learn the things you need to do to make it work. -- Lynn On Fri, 21 Nov 2003 21:53:41 -0800 (PST), [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >�Lynn, > >>�.. because the other guy always does it the wrong way, and no amount of >>�bitching will ever change that. > >�Sounds like the MS way of thinking (and I thought that before I read his >�signature). �They always do things right... that's why they change focus >�every other year.
